SEL stands for Social Emotional Learning and ACE’s stands for Adverse Childhood Experiences. These two acronyms are receiving attention individually but YouthThink believes that the real power is in connecting them through awareness, education and action.
YouthThink: What About the Children?
The mission of YouthThink is to inform and help create a unified community force that promotes the importance of emotional literacy and secure attachment as a way to build resiliency and ultimately prevent youth substance abuse as well as other risky behaviors and unhealthy choices.
Education and Changing Community Norms
YouthThink bases all of its decision-making structure on one simple question: “What about the children?” How will the decisions we make impact our children? Do the policies we set and advocate for improve the future outcomes for our children? Do we choose what is best our children or do we settle for what we believe are adult rites of passage?
T2T Boost Camp
YouthThink knows that being a parent is one of the most important and difficult jobs around. We also believe that with a little help and direction in just the right areas you can have the family you have always dreamed of. What’s important is starting with a foundation that makes sense and one you can count on.
